 Features:
 - Signing and verification of [Sigstore bundles](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_bundle.proto) compliant with Sigstore Client Spec
-- Verification of raw Sigstore signatures by creating bundles for them (see [conformance tests](cmd/conformance/main.go) for example)
+- Verification of raw Sigstore signatures by creating bundles for them (see [conformance tests](test/conformance/main.go) for example)
 - Signing and verifying with a Timestamp Authority (TSA)
 - Signing and verifying (offline or online) with Rekor (Artifact Transparency Log)
 - Structured verification results including certificate metadata
 - TUF support
 - Verification support for custom [trusted root](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_trustroot.proto)
-- Basic CLI and examples
+- Examples for signing and verifying artifacts
 
 There is not built-in support for signing with a KMS or other bring-your-own-key; however you can easily add support by implementing your own version of the interface `pkg/sign/keys.go:Keypair`.
 
-For an example of how to use this library, see [the verification documentation](./docs/verification.md), the CLI [cmd/sigstore-go](./cmd/sigstore-go/main.go), or the CLI examples below. Note that the CLI is to demonstrate how to use the library, and not intended as a fully-featured Sigstore CLI like [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign).

 ## Background
 
 Sigstore already has a canonical Go client implementation, [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign), which was developed with a focus on container image signing/verification. It has a rich CLI and a long legacy of features and development. `sigstore-go` is a more minimal and friendly API for integrating Go code with Sigstore, with a focus on the newly specified data structures in [sigstore/protobuf-specs](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs). `sigstore-go` attempts to minimize the dependency tree for simple signing and verification tasks, omitting KMS support and container image verification, and we intend to refactor parts of `cosign` to depend on `sigstore-go`.

 `sigstore-go` is currently beta, and may have minor API changes before the 1.0.0 release. It does however pass the [`sigstore-conformance`](https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-conformance) signing and verification test suite, and correctness is taken very seriously.

 Note that we do not provide built versions of this library, but you can see what architectures your version of `go` supports with `go tool dist list`.
 
-## Installation
-
-You can use the CLI with `go run` as in the below examples, or compile/install the `sigstore-go` CLI:
-
-```shell
-$ make install
-```
-## Examples
-
-```shell
-$ go run cmd/sigstore-go/main.go \
-  -artifact-digest 76176ffa33808b54602c7c35de5c6e9a4deb96066dba6533f50ac234f4f1f4c6b3527515dc17c06fbe2860030f410eee69ea20079bd3a2c6f3dcf3b329b10751 \

-You can also specify a TUF root with something like `-tufRootURL tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev`.
-
-Alternatively, you can install a binary of the CLI like so:
-
-```shell
-$ go install ./cmd/sigstore-go
-$ sigstore-go ...
-```

 ## Testing
 
 Tests are invoked using the standard Go testing framework. A helper exists in the Makefile also.
